Read our privacy policy Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony says it would be disrespectful to regard rivals Wales as a “banana skin” ahead of Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations clash in Dublin. Munster flanker O’Mahony, who returns as one of seven personnel changes from the 36-0 victory over the Azzurri in round two, believes Wales’ players are a “different animal” when representing their country. “That’s what we’ll 100 per cent be expecting tomorrow.” Ireland are chasing an 18th successive home win to equal England’s record, set in 2017, of 11 consecutive Six Nations victories. “As a result, we expect to get the best of every team and we have no doubt but that we’re going to get the best of Wales tomorrow.” Ireland are on course to become the first side to claim back-to-back Grand Slam titles in the Six Nations era.
